Mechanical properties of liquid droplets are highly relevant in materials science and manufacturing. The thermodynamics of liquid droplets are also critical for many applications in energy technology, meteorology, and other fields where nucleation in a supersaturated vapour plays an important role. Using molecular dynamics simulations on SuperMUC, researchers investigated these phenomena to capture the length and time scale dependence of finite-size effects on the properties and the dynamics of nano-dispersed phases.
